New Imaging Strategies Using a Motion-Resistant Liver Sequence in Uncooperative Patients
Figure 2
MR images obtained in a 53-year-old man with chronic liver disease. The conventional T2-weighted turbo spin-echo image (a) shows motion artifacts in the right posterior section of the liver. The artifact is improved on T2-weighted SS-ETSE (b) and BLADE (c) (proprietary name for periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction (PROPLLER) in MR systems from Siemens Medical Solutions) MR images. Much better sharpness of the liver edge and pancreas and clearer depiction of the main pancreatic duct are seen on T2-weighted SS-ETSE (b) and BLADE (c).
